Reclaiming Faith Through Love and Truth with Regina V. Cates

Have you ever questioned what love, faith, and belonging truly mean?

This episode invites you to explore the courage it takes to reclaim your voice, challenge fear-based beliefs, and embrace a version of spirituality rooted in compassion, not control. It’s a powerful call to live with integrity, even when the world tries to define you by its own narrow standards.

Regina V. Cates is a queer author, activist, and spiritual advisor. Raised in a conservative Christian community in Texas, she experienced years of rejection and abuse before transforming her pain into a mission rooted in love, inclusion, and healing. Her book The Real Conversation Jesus Wants Us to Have is a bold call to return to heart-centered spirituality and reclaim faith from fear and dogma.

This conversation extends beyond religion—it’s about reclaiming your humanity, setting boundaries, and navigating life with heart-centered integrity.
